Kerslake's New Project, "Tim Timebomb's RockNroll Theater," Features Rancid's Tim Armstrong
Mirror Films Owner/Executive Producer Eric Barrett continues to expand and diversify his company’s talent roster with the addition of Director Wrye Martin. A key creative talent behind “Butterfinger 13th,” launched on Facebook to more than 1 million FB fans, the short film was directed by Martin in collaboration with celebrity Actor/Director Rob Lowe and Threshold Interactive’s John Montgomery.

“I am extremely stoked to have Wrye on my roster,” says Barrett. “His diversity is unparalleled in today’s marketplace. His latest work for Butterfinger is a classic example. The behind-the-scenes/’making of’ footage with Rob Lowe in pre-production is down right hilarious. Slam cut to the actual short film, which is an authentic horror film really proves my point. You cannot get two genres that are more polar opposites than those. Wrye brings many years of advertising experience to Mirror, and I’m proud he chose us as his home.”
Mirror Films also announced that on Friday, VEVO launched “Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater,” an original series created by musical wunderkind and Grammy Award-winning producer Tim Armstrong, and directed by Mirror Films‘ Kevin Kerslake. An homage to the classic American Musical, “Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater” centers on Armstrong as a punk rock version of Rod Serling, who hosts each episode starring special guest actors and top musical artists.

“Kevin’s range as a Director never ceases to amaze me,” adds Barrett. “This latest work with Tim Armstrong for VEVO is a throwback to musicals of a bygone era. Couple this with his just-released ‘Electric Daisy Carnival’ feature doc โ and you can see that it’s been a very busy year.”

“ฦvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of ฦvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscarยฎ... Read More
